oh, sorry, i use only main sources (some books and tables) and only now again read one "fresh" monograph about 9 - more pictures of yak-9p vk-105pf here...
well, really, difference is gunport and little another geometry of nose part without blister for UBS...
it's too much for ignore of changes or no, don't know now, anyway, it's choice of DT...
and little more about production of early yak-9 (yak-9 1942 in game) -

До конца 1942 года Новосибирский завод N 153 выпустил лишь 59 новых «Яков», большая часть из них и попала на фронт под Сталинградом.

in 42 only 59 from 459...
so, maybe, really need for lot of 9's with perfomance'42 (2870 kg - 515-520 km/h at SL - 17.5-18.5 sec - 5.1 min/5000), perfomance'43 (2870 - 530-540 - 17 - 4.9/5000)...
something like this, ONLY if early yak-9s in 43 have 2 fuel tanks in wing and not be yak-9d in fact with more fuel tanks (so, i can be wrong, when some days ago write about yak-9 19
43... too much details here)...
anyway, early yak-9 with better perfomance can be etalon or plane with very good quality (i think so)...
